Missing In Action

Missing In Action – 9th Infantry Division in WWII –

9th Infantry Division Missing In Action Project

During World War Two, many young men left their homes and families behind to fight the war. Some of them never returned home. They disappeared while in combat. Some of the men were found during or after the war, others remained “Missing In Action”. Here’s a list of 9th Infantry Division men who went Missing In Action during World War Two.

If anyone who reads this knows more about these men, or you might be family, please contact me or fill in the form below the MIA names on this page. It would be great to put a face and story to these names.

ABOUT THE 9TH INFANTRY DIVISION MISSING IN ACTION PROJECT:

We’re a small team of people that are working hard on this project, and want to make sure that these men will never be forgotten. It is our hope that each of them will be found again and be brought home. The originator of this project is Lisa Froug-Hirano. Her “Uncle Eddie” fought in the 60th Infantry Regiment and lost his life in September 1944. The long time wish of Lisa was to have Tributes to all the missing men of the 9th Infantry Division in some way. This was also a wish for myself and when we got in touch and started talking about this wonderful project, it really took off. We also get the incredible research help from a small team called “Angelo’s Angels“, led by Francesca Cumero. Angelo’s Angels is a research team has performed the research to help others return over 300 dog tags since late December of 2006.

Please note: The MIA list below might not be complete. If you know of a name that should be on this list, please contact me as well, and we will add the name to the correct unit and do our research to this soldier as well. We are a very small but dedicated team and appreciate any help in this. Thank you.
